    MORE INFORMATION

    The new album tells the story of the making of the United Kingdom through twelve of its monarchs, beginning with William the Conqueror and ending with our current day Queen. Each monarch is introduced by a narration from Dame Helen and Damian, accompanied by a piece of music from Debbie that embodies each monarchs’ individual character.
     
    Dame Helen Mirren says, “I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with Debbie on the musical journey into royal history. It was a privilege to record the words with Damian and to be part of celebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s 95th birthday. Debbie has done a marvellous job composing and recording the music.”
